If you're able, I do recommend donating to United Help Ukraine, and their Gifts of Hope have a number of different options available for various needs (like holiday gifts for children, hand and foot warmers, first aid kits, etc.)
Them, NAFO, Saint Javelin, Timothy Snyder and Mark Hamill and Misha Collins (who all have fundraisers for things like drones, demining robots, and so forth), United24 in general etc. - and even if you're not comfortable donating to things for offensive purposes (like drones or helping get weapons) they have defensive or support options as well. There are numerous organizations (and United24 is really good as a central source for projects and ways to support).
Read books about Ukraine (you can find numerous recommendations in my posts or can ask), enjoy Ukrainian art and music and food 9ditto), and pressure your legislators (Americans can go here for an example or here) and support and boost organizations like Razom for Ukraine and Ukrainian individuals.
Even reddit has some helpful links and info
Ah yes, linguistic dick jokes, that‘s what they un-shadowbanned me for. Immature? Yeah. Did I laugh when I realised? Yeah. So here it goes 😗 will I get sb‘d again? LOL.
(for those who didn‘t get it, Prussia in Latin is „Prutenia“ (according to wikipedia) and yeah it‘s similar to one of the common words for dick in Ukrainian, at least in the region I‘m from. Haha Eli how funny shit like this is exactly why you have no friends irl idiot. As far as I checked the two words are linguistically unrelated, just in case you wonder)
can we all talk about how prussias actual flag is so ugly
Now, for my own nefarious reasons, I asked my German (Schleswig-Holstein) friend today if there are any stereotypes about modern Brandenburg federal state in Germany, and she sent me this ABSOLUTE GEM
(Since I follow the chain of events that today’s Bundesland Brandenburg is personified by the same guy as personified the former Margraviate, part of the kingdom, etc, etc, these days Gilbert-Prussia would absolutely annoy the shit out of him with this song I CAN FUCKING SEE IT HAPPENING. With the other Bundesländer joining in.)
Basically the stereotype is that the area is very rural and there’s nothing to do and everyone’s moving out and shit and yes stereotypes are bad but in no right does this song have to be so fucking funny🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
PLEASE.
I CAN’T.
Wah, I made almost the same joke the other day!
OH YES MARK BRANDENBURG.
also a meme spoiler to a WIP which is the only reason I haven’t drawn this. YET. Except this was made before I even heard the song and this is just his normal face.
Also, here’s where the screenshots are from and where u can find English translation and stuff. I’M REALLY SORRY.
Its unfortunate so much HRE fanwork is around him and his ~unrequited love~ with chibitalia, extending it into gerita. Like okay thats fine idgaf you do you but he has a life out of that too 🙄 Like come on hold my hand. Okay fine ill grab it. You gotta dwelve into the "austria as part of empire but not really" stuff. Or the netherlands/belgium/flanders bit with the war(s)..The peasant war. the seven years' war. Brooo even Napoleonic wars. You gotta give him a comedic relief mental illness because of his ridiculous map aswell. His clothes are based on those of philosophers have him debating Thomas Aquinas with Antonio or something. The absolute animosity between him and Francis is so exploitable. A bet he fucking shreds on the hurdy gurdy too. if you even care. And we can go further guys we can take it back to Cherlemagne times and do some ridiculous ninth century jokes. Hurdy gurdy guys
I am procrastinating on finishing a fic so I drew the crew instead
How do you feel about russia, Belarus, and Ukraine being siblings in hetalia? Do you think the author should change that the same way he changed China and Japan being siblings?
To be honest — it makes me sad. There is a common propaganda theory that emerged in Russian empire if ever around the beginning of 19th century with the activisation of european nationalism in what is now Ukraine and Belarus, to justify whatever the repressive policies Russia wanted implemented on them because „we‘re brotherly nations so I‘m protecting you even if u don‘t like it“ which somehow escalated into „we are the same nation separated by artificial borders“ thing, and I think you can already see the problem with this.
And though Russia would usually be portrayed as the „older brother“, and, thankfully, at least Ukraine is the oldest in hetalia, still – it‘s pretty much the same old rotten story. Especially since hetalia fans often use Russia‘s surname for both Ukraine and Belarus, as if undermining their independence.
But I think rather than just changing it, an interesting spin could be applied to this. See, the entire „siblings“ idea is what I am more than sure Russia would want everyone to believe. And there‘s no doubt Ukraine and Belarus did not have the courage to speak up for a while. Until recently, almost. And now just imagine this kind of conversation:
— Well, yeah, hard to imagine he‘s been so horrible to you even though he‘s your brother…
—Erm…actually he‘s even not my brother…
—Wait wha–
But we all know we‘re not getting anything like this, well because..*sighs*…Himaruya…

Sasori: Did it hurt when you fell?
Deidara: From where? Heaven? Or in love?
Sasori: Brat, as much as I’d love to save your ego, you just faceplanted down a flight of stairs.
Just a little comics about Sasori being worried and Deidara being Deidara. I kinda messed the order up, but there are numbers in the corners so here we go
